What time are you looking to leave from Portland on Friday? I'm going to leave from the Vancouver area around 5-6pm. I know it's fairly late, but if it's in line with your timing, let me know and we can try to work something out.

Sent you a message!

New albums announced today for Death Cab for Cutie and Sufjan Stevens. Neither have been around since 2011, so there's that.

Sufjan hasn't played Sasquatch since 2006, and although I don't have a source, there has been talk on this forum about how he does not enjoy playing festivals. But I hope he does show up!

From an email last year:

"There has been no news of shows in 2014 yet, and, like you mentioned, Sufjan does not play festivals."

I really hope he changes his mind at some point but I doubt it. He seems adverse to performing in general. That's a shame because he's beyond incredible live. I caught him on the Age of Adz tour and it's the best show I've ever seen.

Grand Forks area. I lived there most of my life. What part is your fam from?

Lots of family from Fargo and Munich. I've been to GF many a time, and a lot of my cousins live there now!

That is awesome! Well sorta, GF isn't exactly the best town in the world haha. I grew up out in the country about fifteen miles away which I loved. When they move Sasquatch to the banks of the muddy Red River next year I'll be sure to show ya the sights.

I won tickets to Foster the People's show last night at the Doug Fir, and I have to say I was impressed. As far as your radio friendly bands like Grouplove, The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, The 1975, and such go, Foster the People are probably my favorite. Based on what I saw, I think they'll subheadline Sasquatch. It was a very good show.

I was there too and it was pretty good though not a mindblower for me. But I saw them at OSL and that show was pure energy. Their record just has so many upbeat and well known songs that it's hard to not have fun with them. Like he said, joy is at the core of their band. I'll definitely catch them again at another festival.
